It's Volucella pellucens. The larvae live in wasp and bee nests. I don't think it will be easy to raise these!!

The larvae of this species live in the nests of bumble bees (Bombus), not in wasp nests. They are scavengers and feed on the accumulated debris in the nest, which possibly consists partly of dead bumble bee larvae and pupae. In captivity, they have been reared on pollen collected by honey bees.
